BingoBoingo: According to the Serena Williams principal I'm going to suggest an interesting sweat tomorrow might come from betting Sara McMann to beat Ronda Rousey, IF you can find an appropriate venue to do so (Sorry for dropping the ball on proposing a BitBet)
BingoBoingo: That, might be more painful than the sauce, because liquid is going to stimulate a bowel movement in short order. Probably before they can get a picture. Then it is done. A peeled pepper is going to get crushed by an anus and I imagine would linger longer than the sauce would have.
KRS-One: what do you think of the sphincter as a hole?
BingoBoingo: Of course. It is why you need a good oil based lube. KY just dries too fast.
kakobrekla: BingoBoingo lets wait for some beggars to come in and try to get a quote
lnovy: there's a goxcoin now... and I'm hodling that... https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=481185.0
mircea_popescu: that scary moment when you google a word that you know means ho and you discover that as far as google knows, the only instances it was ever used are on your blog.
BingoBoingo: bitcoinpete: I think you've got your Middle America metaphore flipped around. Buffet chooses Omaha for a reason.
Duffer1: " I can’t separate out the signal when there’s that much noise." i had that exact conclusion a couple months ago
bitcoinpete: So I finally started a bitcoin blog
BingoBoingo: Also a few trilema articles.
pankkake: there's a good mpoe-pr post about it
BingoBoingo: Wait for lines that don't seem priced right, still lose a lot and hope EV come.
benkay: i just doubt i'd do much better than stochastic bouncing around, pankkake - much like gamblers or traders. up one day, down the next; cognitively biased against tracking returns etc. it's a goddamn emotional shitshow is what it is.
BingoBoingo: benkay: It's less learning how to gamble and more trying to spot pricing errors and finding patterns. One pattern I have found profitable is if betting against Serena Williams would multiply your bet by 12 or less in a certain match, there's prolly a fuckton of money to be had.
benkay: you're a landlord, not a startup.
BingoBoingo: Great upset potential as well, would have been a great bet to take both sides on.
BingoBoingo: I really need to start paying more attention to MMA matchups. There's a decent fight tomorrow and I totally missed the chance to submit a Bitbet.
kakobrekla: supporting altcoins just gives you a lot more low net worth retards to deal with
mircea_popescu: the reason a serious exchange does not want to offer a scam is contained in the expression "serious exchange"
kakobrekla: Whatever may be said against dogecoin, the fact is that it has gained traction very rapidly and become a very serious coin for trading. Why wouldn't a serious exchange want to offer it? We are after all in the trading business.
kakobrekla: So a "serious" exchange only offers "serious" coins? By what criteria does a coin count as serious? The answer to this question is bound to be controversial, but note that dogecoin has:
MisterE: thought it was a straight march up
mircea_popescu: tho one could fill a hard-drive with the drivel of the various speculators who knew shit on the topic at the time(s)
MisterE: it's like when the sex goes in a relationship, the writing on the wall
MisterE: falling hashrate is a really bad thing for your currency though
mircea_popescu: hashrate is a poor indication of interest.
MisterE: mircea_popescu: I'm a minnow though
mircea_popescu: MisterE you know there's a lot of people with no bitcoins because they decided they will buy if it goes under X and it never did.
mircea_popescu: im a phb not a tech see. i think in practically useful terms :D
mircea_popescu: so author is a journalist, we could say.
asciilifeform: author is a parodist, not a cryptographer.
mircea_popescu: . Recently, our classified NSA Oak Ridge facility made a stunning breakthrough that is leading us on a path towards building the first exaflop machine (1 quintillion instructions per second) by 2018. This will give us the capability to break the AES-128 encryption key
asciilifeform: quite a few of these are works of art.
mircea_popescu: maybe someone just flipped a pic for obscure reasons
mircea_popescu: benkay you doing a research project ?
mircea_popescu: and the people who have a problem with their fame.
mircea_popescu: but i would propose there is a difference between the people who have a problem with their gender,
mircea_popescu: so basically a kate woods wannabe.
mircea_popescu: is she a transsexual too ?
asciilifeform: i actually sat on a jury some years ago in a case where 'computrace' was the evidence.
mircea_popescu: "This report is a return to the problem of security mechanisms implemented in modern anti-theft technologies that reside in firmware and PC BIOS of commonly used laptops and some desktop computers."
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform it was such a problem where i lived by 1992ish i was able to spot it with diskedit
mircea_popescu: we had a number of segfaults which were ironed out, curious if yours is a new brand or some edge case.
gribble: #19807 Fri Feb 21 18:04:10 2014 sorjef SELL 12.0 GOXBTC @ 0.4 btc ((Would like to sell my gox btc. Hurry up! Since this is my first trade here will send money first if you have a good rating, if you're newbie like me escrow is needed.. Thanks a lot!))
nubbins`: they did mention audio was borked, didn't think it was a breaking problem tho
mike_c: i did. a large config file for the updater.
nubbins`: "In order to ensure there is no inappropriate language in any demand letter sent to the alleged infringers, the draft demand letter will be provided to the court for review," Aalto wrote. "Any correspondence sent by Voltage to any subscriber shall clearly state in bold type that no court has yet made a determination that such subscriber has infringed or is liable in any way for payment of damages."
nubbins`: "[Judge] Aalto ordered that before Voltage can send a letter to the alleged downloaders, it must return to court to get the wording of its communications cleared by a case management judge."
greenspan_fan: interestingly, you might be able to hijack a shipment of fpgas or asics, which would make for the nerdiest heist movie in history
nubbins`: fuck that, hijack a train
greenspan_fan: I think it would be a good story to tell in prison
asciilifeform: but if you're hijacking something, why not a supercomputer. 'might as well hang for a sheep as for a lamb.'
greenspan_fan: enh. just doesn't seem like a good thing to get involved with
asciilifeform: they just buy a ride from professional spammers
greenspan_fan: it's funny, because I was thinking of using a supercomputer to mine dogecoin, but decided not to because the idea was idiotic on many levels
KRS-One: she must have had a nice bod
dub: both yoga instructors I've had were a bit chunky, havent done bikram though
nubbins`: no, she runs a yoga studio
nubbins`: and of course she arrived in a smart car
nubbins`: some brands have two tags: a brand tag and a care/materials tag
nubbins`: idly considered buying regular cotton tank tops and sewing a 1" organic cotton seam on the bottom
nubbins`: she wanted organic racerback-style tank tops. such a thing does not exist. the closest we could find was tanks with 6.25% organic cotton
nubbins`: because hey, everyone is a robot but her and she's the only person whose time is valuable
nubbins`: dealing with this client who runs a hot yoga studio
benkay gives ThickAsThieves a katana. it is enchanted +5 specifically for cutting through female chatter.
ThickAsThieves: "i was going to ask you to write a check for the floor guy, but he's leaving now" "ok, but he's here now, i can write a check now, right?" "he's leaving now" "so write a check for him now?" "yes, that's what i said."
davout: oh wait, it is a clever go pro ad
asciilifeform: jurov: ideally, there would be nothing on the pc that suggests ownership of a cardano.
asciilifeform: but, unlike the case of a dedicated app, there is no simple mechanical test.
asciilifeform: jurov: once again, a human watching, if he has a brain, may eventually figure it out
asciilifeform: but an automatic diddler is faced with a considerably-harder problem.
asciilifeform: not that a human, driving a pwned machine remotely, will remain permanently unaware that the victim owns a cardano
asciilifeform: if, on the other hand, you merely move files onto and out of a usb drive...
asciilifeform: if you have any dedicated software component on the pc end (e.g. browser plugin), it is a target.
asciilifeform: a dedicated piece of soft for talking to cardano defeats this purpose.
asciilifeform: jurov: one of the reasons why cardano is that the host machine does not automatically know that a cryptographic widget, as such, is plugged in.
asciilifeform: gpg running automatically in a browser (or elsewhere) is questionable wisdom.
davout: asynchronicity is merely a consequence of "the frontend doesn't know shit about where the sensitive server is"
davout: because if you work from the assumption that no frontend/app server will ever be compromised you're in for a world of pain
davout: that protects you against a compromised server too
jurov: pity there isn't a plugin that can verify it, tho
davout: i don't have a definitive answer
davout: last time i got DDoS'd i set up a different IP, and sent it to customers that asked for it
gribble: Bitstamp | A market order to sell 40000 bitcoins right now would net 13173637.7416 USD and would take the last price down to 100.0000 USD, resulting in an average price of 329.3409 USD/BTC. | Data vintage: 0.0292 seconds
mircea_popescu: there's a coupla bn in 2015 notes that are being written off.
Duffer1: has there been any b-a discussion of kurzweil or singularity?
KRS-One: That was a kind of famous picture mircea_popescu
Vexual: i ypothesise that you can't put too many ants into a colony, something normal will happen
Vexual: no more factories, but heres a tablet app
Vexual: either way its prolly closer to 500m than 0 in a sense
mircea_popescu: when it was started != when it was a thing
Vexual: how long has facebook been a thing?
greenspan_fan: mircea_popescu as a means of exchange, all those things are valuable though, and most easily attacked
Vexual: whats that when its a sentence?
mircea_popescu: bitcoin has terrible overhead and it is without a doubt the klunkiest, most ineffectual way to transmit payments ever devised
Vexual: todays fish is trout a la creme
mircea_popescu: jurov here's the funny thing on top of it : if the us actually DID try to build something, like a superadvanced asic design ? we'd get it for free in the next leak bundle.
mircea_popescu: thigns have changed. we have a real republic and a real bitcoin now, which leaves the us back among its peers.
mircea_popescu: you know this was a majorly discussed topic recently hiar.
